Mysuru/Mysore: Following COVID-19 scare, the Central Government has fixed Rs. 8 for two ply masks, Rs. 10 for three ply masks and Rs. 100 for a 200ml bottle of sanitiser. Despite the Centre fixing the rates, complaints of masks and sanitisers being sold at exorbitant prices are being received.
Hence, legal action would be initiated against those found selling masks and sanitisers at higher prices and instead of levying penalty as done earlier, cases would be registered under Essential Commodities Act and action would be initiated against them, according to Mysuru Circle Legal Metrology Department Assistant Controller K.M. Mahadevaswamy.
